Fancy original Rhode Island 1840's militia uniform cuff decoration with four matching 1830's Rhode Island Militia staff coat buttons sewn on it. This uniform insignia or cuff decoration was removed from an 1840's Rhode Island militia coat at some point. Don't ask me why. The buttons are all original to the piece, are sewn on, and have never been removed. They all have 1830's silver plated R & W ROBINSON . * . * . MAKERS . * . * . backmarks. If you have a period uniform in need or just like buttons this is a neat relic. These buttons run in the 65 a piece range. I would never take them off though. $225
